Ben 10 has been a beloved franchise for years, and this PS4 adventure game attempts to capture the spirit of the show. Having spent considerable time battling villains and exploring the game world as Ben Tennyson, I’m ready to share my thoughts on the Ben 10 (Intl Version) – Adventure – PlayStation 4 (PS4) (Model Number: B10P4R2FBN).

The game boasts a vibrant and colorful world, fairly faithful to the animated series’ aesthetic. The environments are reasonably detailed, though not groundbreaking. The core gameplay loop revolves around switching between Ben’s various alien forms, each possessing unique abilities crucial for combat and puzzle-solving. Early on, you get access to Four Arms, Heatblast, and Cannonbolt, with more aliens unlocked as you progress. The combat is simple but effective, requiring strategic use of each alien’s strengths to overcome enemies. There’s also a decent selection of collectibles scattered throughout the levels, adding a bit of replayability to the experience.

The story, while predictable, is engaging enough for younger players and fans of the show. It follows familiar plot points, introducing iconic villains like Zombozo and Queen Bee, who bring a level of familiarity and excitement. The dialogue is lighthearted and consistent with the tone of the animated series. The voice acting, while not Oscar-worthy, successfully captures the energy and personalities of the characters.

Performance-wise, the game runs smoothly on the PS4. I experienced no significant glitches or frame rate drops during my playthrough. Loading times are reasonable, and the overall gameplay experience is fluid. The graphics, while not state-of-the-art, are perfectly acceptable, contributing to the game’s charming aesthetic. The sound design is also solid, with a fitting soundtrack and sound effects that enhance the overall experience.

Pros:

• Faithful adaptation of the Ben 10 universe
• Fun and engaging gameplay for younger players
• Solid performance and smooth gameplay
• Good variety of alien forms and abilities
• Collectibles add replay value

Cons:

• Story is somewhat predictable
• Graphics are not cutting edge
• Combat can be a bit simplistic at times
• Limited replayability beyond collectibles

Overall, Ben 10 (Intl Version) – Adventure – PlayStation 4 (PS4) (B10P4R2FBN) is a solid, fun game that successfully captures the essence of the animated series. While it may not be a groundbreaking title graphically or mechanically, it delivers a charming and engaging experience that will likely please younger players and Ben 10 fans. I would recommend this game to parents looking for a fun and relatively safe adventure game for their children. The combination of recognizable characters, easy-to-learn gameplay, and consistent performance makes it a worthwhile purchase.
